I'd argue there's little more useful than a chalkboard, especially the two beautiful new chalkboard stickers at Zoe b Organic in the shape of either the endangered Isabelle butterfly or a koala bear. They're made from potato starch, whic…
Even though I realize that the amazing Charley Harper Coloring Book is intended for younger audiences, it's so sophisticated that I can't help but want to save a couple of pages for me. American illustrator Charley Harper's "minimal real…
My daughter recently drew a picture of herself and one of her school friends. She made herself pink and her friend brown. Neither color was exactly ... right. And as a budding artist, she was bothered by the limitations of her crayons . …
My days of drawing rock band logos on my knees are long gone, but life would have been a lot easier if the non-toxic Tee Juice fabric markers were around back then. My son and his friends tried them out during the world's best playdate ,…
In my want-to-but-can't traveling state, I can easily identify with Jennifer Hill's Places I Have Never Been collection where she takes a city she's never been and develops a pattern for it, using the pattern in fun prints, calendars , a…
There's a place for tradition, and there's a place for innovation, and there is a place for both side by side. Sub-Studio design's new nursery rhyme prints are a perfect combination of age-old nursery rhymes from past generations and a b…
There aren't too many pink posters I'd hang in my daughters' post-feminist non-pink bedroom, but artist and graphic designer Robin Rosenthal's counting bird poster would easily make the cut. When we first found her original counting bird…
Now that I've put my foot down on the whole no-DVD-in-the-car thing (the same way Liz had mentioned earlier this week), I better have something to keep my three occupied on long road trips. So along with all the great kids' music we play…
I don't have a lot of hand painted art on my walls, especially in the nursery. But I can easily change that with Brooklyn-based Rebekah Potter's diminutive BloKs , essentially 3.5 x 5" wooden blocks with a word and matching illustration,…
"Recycled art" sounds like something my kids create with egg cartons and paper towel rolls, but in the case of Dolan Geiman's Panel Paintings , it means something much cooler. Using recycled wood panels, non-toxic, water-based textile in…
Because I'm skeptical of anything that yells AS SEEN ON TV! at me, I admit my initial thought was oh no...what kind of toxic garbage are those pipe cleaner looking Bendaroos (warning - loud sound when you click over) made out of? The ans…
With two craft-loving girls, I have enough kids' art supplies in my home to start a small store. That said, I have never seen anything like the adorable set of paint-your-own nesting dolls from Kookle and know my kids would go ga-ga over…
Frankly, I'm not certain I'm actually cool enough for this Alphabet Learning Poster , but let's just say I desperately want to be. What's not to like about an alphabet where L is for Love, X is for Malcolm, and Z is for Zeitgeist? Oh, an…
I like doing crafts with my daughter , but usually one of two things happens: either the craft I come up with is lame (like taping purple things to a piece of paper and writing purple at the top) or the sites I visit for inspiration assu…
Call me a total dork, but I get all teary and melty every time my three year-old hugs one of her friends goodbye. There's is something beyond adorable about two little girls squeezing each other tight-- and anyone who disagrees has a hea…
Just when I think there can't possibly be any more ways to make animals into wall art that make me want another baby purely for the decorative accessories, someone goes and proves me wrong. This time it's Milk Moon Kids , purveyors of li…
Here's something way cool: Check out the Etsy blog, The Storque starting today and you'll catch editors Kristen and Liz as this week's guest curators. Whoo! It was so fun pulling together a collection of our favorite nursery art found on…
My daughter is an art fanatic , and would paint until she was blue in the face. Funny, she's actually done that, with blue hands, arms, clothes...you get the picture. She's a four-year-old with paints. So when she tried Mahar Dry Goods' …
We love helping our readers discover cool and unusual kid stuff, but we love it even more when they return the favor. Especially when it's something as cool as the ABC Helvetica Film Poster. Many parents put up sweet ABC art in a nursery…
I love children's art that seems ripped out of the pages of a classic storybook. So when I discovered that very thing at the newly opened Tutti Studio ...instant swoonage. Tel Aviv artist Tutti Shafir's imaginative children's giclee prin…
So you want a canvas or two for baby's room, and you're trying to figure out something bright and colorful, with animals, that doesn't look like the circus threw up on your walls. Leave it to Tiny Decor to find just the right mix of mod …
My daughters draw the cutest things: Stick-figure women in triangle dresses, bulgy-eyed cats and larger-than-life flowers. Nothing could improve on what they dream up which is why I love artist Carla Sonheim's new coloring book simply ca…
Ever been tempted to rip the pages out of your kids' books and hang them on the wall? Is that only me? Oops. I'm tempted by every single framable children's book illustration by illustrator Adam Record of Fall Down Tree , a man so cool a…
ABC posters are pretty much the quintessential nursery decor, but that's not to say it's easy to find a cool one. I mean, enough with the A is for apple already, right? So I was happy to discover two cool new modern ABC posters : One fro…
